[Qgis-user] QGIS - Hanging on Windows browser

[Nigel Berjak - General]

Hi all

I am having a problem with QGIS where it seems to hang any time a 
Windows browser window is opened i.e. Project Save; Export layout, 
Export to any format; Save to Shapefile/DXF etc. (see the image below). 
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version 3.36.1 and 
using older versions too. I even tried on my 2.18.4, with the same 
issue. However, on no other software is this occurring, as far as I have 
been able to test, including MS Office applications, ArcMap, ArcPro, 
Surfer, Adobe Photoshop.

I have tried removing the Browser and taken off networked drives (these 
have never been an issue for me before). As I thought perhaps one of my 
data drives may be at fault, I have now tried disconnecting them too. 
However, the problem persists.

There were Windows 11 cumulative updates recently, which were installed 
(KB5036893; KB5036620; KB5037336), but this is not affecting any other 
software.

I am going to try uninstall the cumulative update, but in the mean time, 
has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, do you have any 
recommendations to resolve it, other than removing cumulative updates, 
which I am not sure is going to work (I will advise if it does resolve 
the issue).
